Shopping at thrift stores has become popular among "vintage" consumers. In the past few years, many vintage and secondhand enthusiasts with an eye for reasonably priced gems have turned thrifting into a pastime, if not a way of life.

However, consumers are seeing that used goods are becoming more expensive than ever, and @Mrsniceguyy, a TikToker, has had enough. This Tiktoker went ahead and gave a few instances.

She exposes the outrageous amounts they charge for soiled, worn-out, and obsolete goods that, in her opinion, wouldn't even be that expensive to buy brand new. You'll agree with me that the absurd price increases for used goods are to be laughed at.

Value Village "just needs to be called out," she wrote in the video's commentary, adding that she can't just deal with it anymore," since they're "getting out of control." One by one, she posts their deceptive prices in a video.

In addition, she started a petition called "Boycott Value Village." According to the petition, charging more for products than they would cost new shows the company's laziness and concern for profit rather than providing customers with an option to shop secondhand rather than purchase new.

Let's look at the 14 photos that the TikToker uploaded.

Value Village

1. Isn't this from the dollar store?

2. Another $30 household good – a toaster

3. What a price for a used coffee maker

4. What is this and why that price?

5. A very pricey picture frame

6. Look at the price for this used, dirty, knockoff Toms

7. Square Glass jars that are everywhere being sold for five bucks

8. All the t-shirts go for $10?

9. Seven bucks for a photo book when they know we all have phones that do a better job

10. Tell me they it's not $20 that I'm seeing?

11. Wow! A sweet find, right? No. It’s 200 bucks. A new one is $400 but can be found on sale for less

12. A dirty and used trash can for $5?

13. A broken fan that might not even work for $10

14. How can these pumpkin art pieces be $25?

Let's find out what people had to say about these outrageous prices

It's out of control

No sense at all

Putting it free on marketplaces

It's not a value village but a thief village

Swapping prices

They are thieves

Wait, what!

They got it for free

It's clear to see that this TikToker is calling out Value Village thrift stores for a good reason. She and many others have had enough of their worn-out, abandoned, decrepit, and filthy stuff being priced higher than what they would have cost new.
